Fido_le_muet 5,197 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Yo yo yo ! Found this popping up on my Facebook page. It's a checklist of 500 places in the world. It's pretty cool so I thought I'd share it. Click the places you've been to, share your result here and we'll see who's the biggest traveler in the crew ! Personally, I've been to 25 places on that list. http://www.listchallenges.com/lonely-planet-ultimate-travel-top-500-sights 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGreenLegend 4,181 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 0. I hate travelling and holidays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmurko 7,622 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Got 25 as well Fido, not sure about couple of others as well, do they count or not, like Ben Nevis. I haven't been on top of Ben Nevis, but I've stopped at the foot and seen it, same with Statue of Liberty, I haven't been on the island or on top of the monument, but I have seen it from the boat, etc ... Might have missed one or two others as well, there's so many to go through and I'm just getting my morning tea. Almost clicked on the Griffith observatory as well, it looked familiar. Edit: updated to 30 (missed a few on my first go). Edited March 6, 2016 by zmurko Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido_le_muet 5,197 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 @zmurko : I clicked the ones I've seen, even if I've not been into or at the top of. I clicked Mont Blanc for instance, seen it from a distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere RichnLin 612 Posted March 6, 2016 Consigliere Share Posted March 6, 2016 61 of them. I used to do a lot of traveling in my teens, 20s and 30s. Now I'm a grumpy 40-something who doesn't like getting off the sofa to go into the city for a meal! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle 3,007 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 17, it's funny because I went to Ann Frank's house for the first time on Thursday. It was really interesting and sad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido_le_muet 5,197 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 I didn't count Anne Frank's house on my list cause I didn't went inside. Only saw the exterior with the huge queue in front of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustHatched 12,103 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I've not been anywhere out side the USA and not been to nearly any note worthy places in the USA. Though I have been around a bit, most was for it was solely for paintball tournaments or business and no time for sight seeing.

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 8. 3 of which are in my own country, the others are in Scotland and England. Who needs the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone when you have Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy 612 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I got 53 of them, but should be able to tick a few more off later this year. Nice find Fido, good to walk down memory lane a bit and get some ideas for next time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LN-MLB 2,583 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I've never left the North American continent, but I've been through most of the United States (46 states + The District of Columbia) and a good portion of Canada (five different provinces)--I've only seen very few of the places on this list though. I envy you guys; I'd love to visit most of these places, as I love history, but travelling can be so expensive and I don't think I could ever get that much time off from work. Perhaps when I retire. The first place I'm going thoughis Tokyo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised to see my local church on the list though, I spent 3 months working on a project there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin 596 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 78. Done a bit of traveling in my young days and came across a few places in the list during 'business' travels. But what strikes me is that there are a fair few places that I've visited during school trips. Must be blessed I guess. Have visited pretty much all of the countries in Western Europe and a few in Central/Eastern Europe. Living in a midget country in the centre of Europe helps Been Down Under and spent some time in Asia as well. Never been to America or Africa though. As for the school trips, we've done Amsterdam (e.g. Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank's house, but then without the waiting times ), Versailles, Canterbury, Rome or Flanders Fields. The latter is of course part of our country's heritage and just a stones throw away from where I live. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
